Shiraz (formerly known as ‘Hermitage’) is an important part of Coonawarra’s history. The acknowledged reputation of Coonawarra for age-worthy wines has largely centered on Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Sauvignon Shiraz blends. However the very early history (in the 1890s) centred on other varieties – particularly Shiraz.
Today Wynns is privileged to hold Shiraz vineyards on many prime locations within Coonawarra. Vines for this label are between 30 and 110 years old. Wynns ‘Black Label’ Shiraz is a superb example of Coonawarra’s cool climate style. Displaying great fruit character, this wine has rich and complex flavours of red berries, spice and chocolate with layered fruit underpinned by tightly focused tannins.

Concentrated dark notes of blueberry and mulberry with distinct bay leaf cedar providing attractive lift.
This wine is rich & complex offering dark brooding notes of blue and red berries, rhubarb and lingering spice and florals. The palate is lush with textural layers of red fruit and savoury components engaging with refined acidity, tightly focused tannins and skillfully balanced oak, forming a seamless and complete wine, expressive of its cool climate region.

"Another vote of confidence in this relatively recently introduced label, sister to the Black Label Cabernet Sauvignon. It deserves to be so rated, with a particularly complex palate in terms of texture, structure and flavour. Red fruits lead the band, and there are some darker, savoury, earthy nuances, in turn enhanced by quality oak and fine, but persistent, tannins."
Even and long ripening, with low rainfall and moderate yields, delivering full fruit flavours and balanced acidity.
